Hail is formed when clouds, specifically cumulonimbus clouds, have both high altitudes and powerful updrafts within the condensation layer of the cloud. As rain droplets form, they are frozen and then carried aloft again, where their temperature condenses additional water on the exterior, which then also freezes. After an extended period of gaining an increasing number of ice layers, the hailstones at some point are too heavy for the updrafts to lift, and they fall to the ground, sometimes losing layers to melting in the warmer air below.

What else can I help you with?
Where do hailstones come from and how are they formed?
Hailstones are formed in thunderstorms when updrafts carry raindrops into extremely cold regions of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice pellets. As the hailstones are lifted and fall repeatedly within the storm, they accumulate layers of ice until they become heavy enough to fall to the ground as hail.
How do hailstones remain suspended in a cloud?
Hailstones remain suspended in a cloud due to the strong updrafts present within the cloud. As the hailstones are being formed, they are continuously lifted higher into the colder regions of the cloud by these updrafts. This cycle repeats until the hailstones become too heavy and fall to the ground as precipitation.
Where do hailstones come from?
Hailstones are basically frozen raindrops. Temperatures are so cold at higher altitudes the water (rain) freezes... and they DONT stay on the ground like snow they land like rain does!!!!!
What is hailstorm?
A hailstorm is a weather event characterized by strong thunderstorms that produce hailstones. These hailstones are balls of ice that form within the clouds and fall to the ground during the storm. Hailstorms can cause damage to property and crops due to the size and speed of the hailstones.
Do hailstones catch on fire when falling?
No, hailstones do not catch on fire when falling. Hail is formed when strong updrafts in thunderstorms cause raindrops to freeze in the cold upper atmosphere. The friction and heat generated by hailstones falling through air resistance are not enough to ignite the hailstone.

How are sleet and hailstones formed diffrently?
Sleet is formed when ice crystals fall as rain that freeze before it hits the ground. Hailstones form when strong winds blow raindrops back upward to the top of where the temperature is freezing. Then, the raindrops freeze into small pieces of ice. This process might happen several times where many layers of ice may build up. Once the hailstones are too heavy and the wind can blow them back up, the hail falls to the ground.
How do you describe how hailstones grow different sizes?
well there is differnt sizes of the hailstones
Are all hailstones round?
No, hailstones are not round. They come in different shapes and sizes becasue they are so rough.
How do you describe weather conditions during which hailstones form and the process by which they form?
The hailstones are mas
The hailstones pounded the roof during the storm?
The hailstones struck the roof loudly during the storm.
How the hailstones form?
they want to
How are hailstones made?
Hailstones start off as a snowflake. In order to become a hailstone, a upwind has to blow it back up into the cloud and collect more water, snow, or ice. Then it freezes. This process can happen over and over again until the hailstone is heavy enough to fall out of the cloud. That's the process of a hailstone.
